NOTpLEASED WITH IT
Mrs. Hendricks Criticises Sculptor Parks
Model Of Her Litn Husband.
She PronOunces it q Genuine Work of art,
But Says the Expression is Not True
to Life-Further Competition.

The Executive Committee of the Hen
bricks Monument Association held meet
ing in Judge Rands Office yesterday after
noon to consider the matter of awarding
the contract for the monument. Sculptor
Parks has been at the Bates House for
several days with handsome
marble bust Of the late vice-President and
the original plaster OF paris model.
All the members of the committee, in
Guiding Oscar B. Hord and A. W, Hen
bricks, former partners of Mr.. Hendricks,
have been delighted with the bust ard were
of the opinion that 1t could
not be improved. Mrs. Hendricks
however, is not 30 well satisfied she does
not think the expression is that usually
seen on Mr.. Hendricks countenance. AS
a work of art she agrees with the members
Uf the committee in pronouncing 1t per-
ect.'
No one that has seen the bust has under.
taken to criticise it as work of art.
After fully considering the questio1 of
letting tt g contract at once, the committee
decided to postpone the matter for few
months end in the meantime advertise for
competitive bids.
1t is thought the statue can be
secured for less than So. 900.
There has only about half that
amount been collected so far, but it Is be-
heved mat 1t Will De no trouble 10 nave
$4,000 on hand by January 1. 1t is alto
getber probable that Mr.. Parks would haYe
received the c. Mt; act yesterday had Mrs.
Hendricks been perfectly satisfied with
the bust, and as ne was not it was thought
best to zee if al body else could produce
q more perfect une. Mr.. Parks still feels
confident that ne will be awarded the
contract and says he has no objection to
making it matter for competition.
There is no likelihood that the bust will
ever go out of this city; in fact, Mr.. Parks
has already had three offers from promi:
nent citizens who were near friends of Mr..
Hendricks. He values it at $1,000, and
says nothing less will buy it. 1t would
certainly be handsome and imposing or
nament for any home.
The Committee will proceed to adver-
tise for bids, and it is thought the contract
will be awarded some time in January.
From the time the award is made it will
be two years before the monument can be
finished and brought here to be erected.

impression that the State is bankrupt, and
the lie has spread like wildfre.
The Journal re]oiced TO see the lie come
back with a hundred per cent. added in
the way of comments, and these extracts
from the Eastern papers were eagerly
copied into its columns.
This was done, doubtless, for the reason
that when an unprincipled man starts
big lie, he rejoices to hear others repeating
1t.
Now the facts are that Indiana has
good financial record, and this is well
known at home. The current expenses
of the State for every purpose except inter
est on the public debt, are about
81, 100000 per year. No State, consider
ing the population. can show such record.
The tax levy for State purposes is only
twelve cents on the 800
valuation, and it has been that for years,
until the State determined to build three
new Insane Hospitals, costing ST., 800
600; this twelve cent levy was
abundant and left a surplus, bat to
pay for these Hospitals a loan had to be
secured. The State went into the money
markets and borrowed at less rate of in
terest than was ever paid by any State
The papers of the country which have pub
lished the lie viii only be doing the manly
thing to retract. Justice to our State and
people demands that they should.

Now, then, what was the grievance? Did
1t relate to their social, moral or intellect
uaI welfare? If so, will the labor organs
tell in what way? Did the grievance relate
to that large liberty Of working when they
pleased. and OF being idle when they
pleased2 Did it relate to the measurement
of their work, by which their wages were
determined? Did it relate to the amount
of wages they said they had earned? Every
interrogstory can be answered in the mega
tive. They were absolute masters OF the
situation, and yet, they quit work, drifted
into idlesness, and now they seek
to charge their own deliberate folly
upon the Democratic party and
upon the Sentinel, because it is
Democratic newspaper-and for some I'M
explained reason, they seem to be dis
posed to exonerate the Republican party

selves fixed as fair and honorable pay for
their services. What more does the
'union" demand? Will the labor organs
answer? They will not. To say the SEN
tinel has declared war upon the principles
OF labor organizations, is mere assertion.
What principles? State the principles.
What principles were printers required
to "foreswear~ Name them. To charge
persecution" upon the Sentinel in the
light of truth is simply injustice. We
challenge the labor organs to name prin-
ciple the Sentinel has attacked, or "per-
secution" IL has inaugurated.
The position of the Democratic party
with regard to the rights, interests and
welfare of workingmen is impregnsble.
1t may be assailed, and here and there
may be found those who viii be swayed
by such tactics, but in the end the truth
will prevail. AS for the Sentinel, in its
controversy with the printers, when sub
jected to the severest analysis, which we
invite, it will be found that the printers
exercising right of citizenship, which
no one questions, deliberately left work
for which, as we have said, they were re-
ceiving pay at prices which they them
selves had fixed, and would now be re-
ceiving, had they listened to the advice of
the. Sentinel, which was that they remain at
their posts, and If any questions arose relating
to any interest whateuer, IN t0hich they Csre
| concerned, a settlement should be had either
by mutual concessions or arbitration. Is that
making war upon principles? Is that per-
sscution? Labor organs are challenged to
answer. and we invite all unprej udiced
citizens to consider these facts.

Population.
SS7 (estimated)

During this growth the Constitution,
the organic Law Of the Republic, has been
equal to every emergency. But this is not
the only test Of the apparently more than
human wisdom of the American Constitu-
ton. With an increase of population there
came a demand for additional States.
Kentucky and Vermont in 1891, Tennessee
in 1876, Ohio in 1901, Louisiana in 1912,
Indiana in 1915, Mississippi in 1917 Illinois
in 1913, Alabama in 1919, Maine in 1920,
Missouri in 1921, Arkansas in 1886, Michi-
gan in 1887, Florida, Iowa and Texas In
1S45, Wisconsin in 1S47, California in 1850,
Mennesota in 1858, Oregon in 1859, Kansas
in 1871, West Virginia in 1862, Nevada In
1864, Nebraska in 1867 and Colorado in
1875. These twenty-five empire States took
their places in the great Republic, and on
the flag of the nation. The Republic had
marched across the continent, put the con-
stitution extended its mighty aims and held
them ell fast in protecting embrace. There
il stands, the sublimest monument to hui
man wisdom in the matter of government
the world ever beheld. 1t is said that
every people has its monuments, either OF
art, or glory, or of science. They are the
representatives Of national character. The
people themselves look up to them as
memorials of their greatness, and strangers
look upon them to know what that people
was. We dig them out of the mines of an
tiquity to learn what antiquity was; and
we seek them in the structure of modern
society, to know what the modern world
has done. What is the monument OF the
American people? Our improvements are
all social improvements; we have no
other gloryIwhich is not held in common
with other nations. But we do claim to
have acknowledged, asserted and main
tanned principles of society which were
never acknowledged before by any nation.
We have embodied them in a great charter
OF human rights. 1t is the sole representa-
tive of our character. Our constitution is
our monument, and 1t Is gazed upon by
others with an interest and an intensity
greater than was ever fixed upon the pyra-
mids of Egypt.
To celebrate the Centennial anniversary
of the PRONUNCIATION of the American Con-
stitution is eminently wise and patriotic, and
1t should be an event of such commanding
splendor as to impress the nations of the
earth with the sublime truth that men are
capable of self government, that sovereign
ty is a Heaven decreed right Of citizenship,
and that under the provisions of consti-
tuition, which grows in vitality and in the
affections of the people as the years go by,
is q perpetual guarantee that the govern
ment of the people, by the people, and for
the people, which 1t proclaims and or
dams is not to perish from the earth.

THE CENTENNIAL CONSTITUTIONAL.
CELEBRATION.


On the 18th OF September inst, 100 years
will have come and gone sincs George
Washington, the Father of his Country"
and 1.-THE first in war. the first in peace,
and the first in the hearts of his country
men," president Of the convention and
deputy from Virginia, signed his name to
the Constitution of the United States of
America, together with thirty.eight dele
gates, representing twelve of the thirteen
American colonies.
The proposition now is to hold in the
city Of Philadelphia a centennial celebra-
ton OF the completion of q task which
constitutes, in point of wisdom, profound
and far reaching, the wonder of the world.
Said Mr.. Gladstone, on one occasion: THE
American Constitution is, as far IS 1 can
see, the most wonderful work ever struck
of at given time by the brain and pur-
pose OF man."
The convention, which framed the
American Constitution, assembled in the
city of Philadelphia, in May, 1777. 1t was
in session about FIVE months, and each day
the delegates deiberated some mighty
idea Of government by the people, such as
had never before had place in the con-
situations of men, clothed with power to
lay the foundations of Government, was
made prominent-they were continental
idess vital with truth and justice, aud
destined to live forever. They related to
the rights of property, the rights Of person,
and the rights of conscience, they fixed
the boundaries of the rights of States and
the rights of the Federal Government.
They secured liberty and independence.
They created a central sun of light and
heat, and the States, like planets, were
given their places in the system, and sent
revolving on their circuits around the CEN
trail luminary.
Ahundred years are gone since Washing
ton promulgated the American Constitution
and the question arises, by what standards
shall its wisdem be measured? 1t was or
dained at time when the population of
the county was less than 100000 and
thirteen States constituted the Republic.
1t may be well for the reader to have be-
fore him the figures showing the growth of
population, unprecedented in the history of

four pups had become large enough to
wean he gave one away, and a few days
afteTward, pointing TO another pup, said,

two puppies to take care of themselves.
After nightfall she shank back very slyly

THE SENTINEL complains because the Sec.
rotary of State and Auditor of State, con-
stitutiDg majority of the Board of Public
Printing, did not include it in the list of
papers to publish a certain advertisement
recently awarded.-Journal.
The Journal when itpenned the foregoing
statement knew it was perpetrating a de-
hberate alsehood-knew that 1t was lying.
The Sentinel simply pointed out the fact
that the Auditor and Secretary, true to
their natures, gave the advertisements to
Republican papers only, thing never be-
fore done in the history of the Board Of
Public Printing.

THE CONDITION OF THE STATE
TREASURY

TREASURY.
Justice to the people Of the State de-
mands that few plain words should be
written about the condition of the State
treasury. For some unexplained reason
some one of the present Republican State
officers or some one Of their deputies, has
given out the lie that the State treasury is
empty. The Republican organs of this
city have published the lie and it has been
copied by the Republican press of the
State and country. The publication of the
lie in the Eastern papers has given the
State an unenviable reputation ana is
liable to injure its credit. This is unjus!
to our people and Is working injury to our
business interests. The lie can 80 easily be
refuted that 1t is beyond the comprehen-
sion OF all sensible people that it should
have been started.
Under the law the Auditor and Treasurer
of the State must publish a report OF the
condition Of the State treasury at the close
OF each month. These reports have been
regularly published and have always
shown large sum in the treasury. The
statement published OFFICIALLY in the
Sentinel and Journal on Wednesday of
this week, showed that there was s4O3. O9l. so
in the treasury on the last day of August
"a pretty good, round sum. At the close
of July, about the time the lie was started,
the published balance was $5O3 ,652.60.
Now, II the treasury was empty at that
time, 1t would be interesting to know
where this half million dollars was, IL not

officers to sustain the credit of the State
